Inventive burgers, imaginative toppings, signature sauces, cozy quarters

























"Boston Burger Company — now with locations in Harvard Square, Back Bay, and Salem as well as the original Somerville one and a kitchen takeover in Jamaica Plain — is the place to go for absolutely over-the-top burgers. Think stacked-tall combinations such as pulled pork, bacon, barbecue sauce, pickles, and cheddar cheese (Porkasaurus); mozzarella sticks, fried macaroni and cheese, onion rings, fries, bacon, golden barbecue sauce, and American cheese (the aptly named 420 Burger); and bacon, a stack of beer-battered onion rings, honey barbecue sauce, and American cheese (Killer Bee). Best for: The maximalist burger obsessive." - Erika Adams


"An over-the-top burger-and-milkshake chain once endorsed by Guy Fieri that is known for theatrical, indulgent menu items; it recently began supplying the food program at a long-running Jamaica Plain sports bar, bringing a burger-forward approach to a traditional neighborhood pub setting." - Erika Adams

"With locations in Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, and Salem, Boston Burger Co. offers over-the-top burgers with “freak frappes” to match. One of the currently available frappes is boozy — the Hard Apple Pie a la Mode (hard cider with vanilla ice cream, caramel, cinnamon sugar, and a graham cracker rim). Watch for monthly specials, too." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
